Face of God: Opening act for Helldone
FACE
OF GOD is an alternative rock band from Helsinki, Finland. The trio performed
more than 130 gigs in Finland in less than 2 years. From the cellars of
Helsinki they will show up at 28.12.2012 on the Helldone stage in Tavastia.
Ville Valo the singer of the love metal band HIM, who is organizing the
Helldone festival over New Year’s, chose FACE OF GOD as one of the first bands
to Helldone. Silke Yli-Sirniƶ, HIM`s promoter was convinced and impressed from
FACE OF GOD´s talent and recommend the rock trio to Ville.
Helldone
is a festival that is staged almost every year in the heart of Helsinki in
Tavastia, the most famous rock club. International audience is expected, people
from around the globe are traveling just for that specific event to Helsinki. A
New year’s festival with great acts is coming up. Together with FACE OF GOD
also other talented bands are supporting HIM: THE SKREPPERS, HELSINKI VAMPIRE
CLUB by DJ JYRKI69 and FINAL ASSAULT.
The
ticket sale of the festival is already over. On the 24th of
September the Helldone tickets sold out for all 4 days in less than 15 minutes.
Especially for FACE OF GOD it is a big honor to play first time on Tavastia´s
stage and that in front of a full house. “I still cannot believe that Ville
Valo chose us” says Leo Stillman frontman of FACE OF GOD. The popular rock trio
is excited about the gig and they are practicing hard to show on the final day
what a great band FACE OF GOD is.
One
more gig FACE OF GOD is staging before they open the Helldone festival. In the
club Liberte, Kallio, kolmas linja on the 23.11.2012 they will prove their
talent. FACE OF GOD is known for great live shows and a good sound. The band is
also working very hard in the studio. They are producing their first debut
album, which should be ready by spring 2013. The album will be a double
nonetheless, consisting of an electric (“Dead Ballads and Forgotten Love
Songs”) and an acoustic (“Illogical Psychology”) half. As well a new single
will be released at some point.
Who
is FACE OF GOD? Leo Stillman is the front man and guitarist of the band,
Benjamin Lehti is the talented bassist and Oscar Kuutso is the drummer. All
songs FACE OF GOD is producing are written by Leo Stillman. He is kind of a
talent in song writing, very inspired by life and text and melody are just
popping up without thinking much about it. FACE OF GOD is performing music that
comes from the heart and they are scratching many different genres without
being ashamed of it, to follow not just one style of music. A very open minded
band and talent as hell ready for the show on the big stage in Tavastia during
Helldone.
The
band is happy to give interviews and tell more about their experience. Please
feel free to contact me for additional information and interviews:

Face of God at On The Rocks
Yesterday night, the alternative rock trio Face of God staged a performance in On The Rocks, Helsinki´s best voted rock bar in 2012. The club in the downstairs of On The Rocks was crowded. The Devil I know, Attempted life and Face of God created a great atmosphere that night. Surrounded by two heavy metal bands Face of God sparkled with a gigantic sound and showed up what a three piece alternative rock band can do. Even Face of God fans from abroad travelled to Helsinki for the show in On The Rocks, this was especially to Leo Stillman the front man of the band a huge honor. He couldn´t believe it that people are actually travelling to see the band performing. Face of God is stepping up and new creative songs like were performed during the show, yesterday night. It was the first time Face of God performed the song "Born to loose" during a live show and the song gathered a lot of attention and applause. As the band entered the stage, Leo was blinding the audience again with his retro sparkling silver jacket. In the beginning the audience were quite shy, but as Lende took the jacket of and ask the people to step closer, they all warmed up and the great sound of Benjamin´s bass and Oscar´s drums made the audience dance. "Dance, what are we waiting for, what are we living for, when we don´t know where we belong". "Black in the night" was the last song and guided everybody back into the party night to enjoy a couple of drinks. Thank you Face of God once more for the great show and yes Leo, "we wanna be your guitar”.
